Sign into your account10 Data-Conserving Tips from Road-Warrior Victor Lund
July 25 2011
We just love Victor Lund, our CEO. Even if he's on a trip to Italy, the man makes himself available to his team at all times. That's good for us, but bad for his phone bill. That's why, on his most recent trip, he decided to compromise on his international data plan. He thought this compromise would give him enough wiggle room; instead, it gave him enough rope to hang himself with.
Needless to say, Victor went over his data plan in dramatic fashion. But he decided to give it a positive spin. "It's a learning opportunity!" Okay, so let's learn from it. Here are a few quick tips for data conservation.
1) If you need to socialize, choose Twitter. "I really enjoy Facebook," Victor says, "But viewing all those high-res photos really drained my data plan. I found it was much safer for me to use Twitter. Fewer photos, less temptation."
2) Don't view mail attachments unless they're urgent. "If an email has an attachment, only open it if it requires immediate action," Victor suggests. "If you can, put it off until you're on your laptop, not on your phone."
